In late 2018 I ran into a Shade Room news article about a Chinese nail salon business that attacked some Black customers. The Chinese people teamed up on Black customers and even attempted to razor cut them. Once the police arrived, the Chinese switched from an over extended aggressor role to performing a victim role.The following day or perhaps two days following the event, I biked to the location in hopes of grabbing some photos and finding out how I could exercise support for my people. I arrived and got to share and listen to stories, and to talk about follow-up moves to make as a community – though nothing seemed to stick unfortunately. It was a beautiful time regardless. It’s not often I attend protests, but for something that I could see being an immediate help (we got the shop to close down, and another shop the owner had we closed down also), it was worth the time. In the long run I am still a firm believer that the hardest punch comes with where we put our money as a peoples. Forget giving your money to other races every chance you get. Seek out alternative Black Owned Businesses. It’s worth the few extra dollars. That being said, here are some black owned websites I order my basics from:We Buy Black (comparable to a small scale Amazon) African Bookstore Black Classic Press (Book Store)Sisters Uptown BookstoreHere’s some footage of the Nail Salon incident.6 x 8″ Fiber Prints, Printed In 2019 shot in 2018 -- source link
